For a quick wireless setup, just use a generic TV remote and a simple IR receiver from RadioShack with a 3V relay. I've done it before for a similar project. A generic $10 universal TV remote will trigger radioshack's $3 IR receiver (looks like a little steel box with a hole on one side, ill get a part # for you) from around 20 feet, rigged with two AA batteries to a relay, to the stungun circut. I'd do that on a little breadboard, in a project box. You could also set up a saftey rocker switch, and a switch for a chamber fan. That'd be slick. Now I think I'll have to build one... (Damn this spundgun habbit is getting expensive! I used to think skeet shooting was an expensive hoby)
Peace,
Pete Zaria.

Hey thanks for the post. It sucks we dont have radio shack here and I usually have to pay throught the arse for electronic components.
Just outta curiousity how interchangeble are project boxes? Like could I take the box of this pumpkin cannon and stick it on a normal spudcannon easily? I've never done this before (normally just use piezo) so any advice'd be great.

It's not so hard if you have some jacks on the box or if you don't mind unscrewing the leads from the cannon and rescrewing it into the other.

i use the forked looking solderless terminals so u can slide them out from under the electrodes (unlike the ring terminals)
i use velcro tape to hold the box to the cannon so its easily removable
